## Summary

The National Energy System Operator Limited (NESO) is handling a procurement process titled "Procurement Services Indirect & IT," focusing on the services category, particularly procurement consultancy services. The process entails opportunities across the UK regions, namely UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK, indicating a UK-wide impact. Initially planned for competition, the contract proceeded to tender in March 2025 but was eventually discontinued in June 2025 due to identified procedural irregularities. This selective procurement method followed a negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition, which highlighted key milestones, including a tender submission deadline on 18th March 2025, and an invitation date for the second stage of 26th March 2025.

This tender represents substantial opportunities for UK-based businesses with public sector procurement expertise, particularly those experienced in delivering comprehensive support in indirect and IT categories. The focus areas include operational sourcing, HR, IT infrastructure, and professional services. Businesses adept in navigating the Utilities Contracts Regulations (UCR) and Public Contracts Regulations (PCR) would find themselves well-positioned for this opportunity. Despite the tender's cancellation, companies that align their capabilities with NESO's strategic procurement objectives might benefit from forthcoming opportunities, leveraging the experience in managing end-to-end delivery of procurement solutions in complex frameworks.
